You have roughly 1,000 months to live. How many are already gone? And how many are truly free – after sleep, work, chores, and screen time? MakeThatChange makes that visible. No empty motivation. Just clarity about what you do with your time. YOUR MONTHS AT A GLANCE Every tile is one month of your life. Months already lived are marked. The rest gets divided up: sleep, work, daily routines, phone use. What remains is your real free time. See what you do with it. HABITS – SMALL DECISIONS, BIG DIFFERENCE Who you are in a year is decided by the small things you do every day. Track your habits, build streaks, and get reminded at the right time. GOALS – WITH A SYSTEM, NOT WITH HOPE The built-in Dreamlining Wizard (inspired by Tim Ferriss) walks you through 3 steps: ① What do you truly want to achieve in the next 6 months? ② What do you need to actually do? ③ Which daily habits do you need to get there? Your habits are automatically linked to your goal –  so you always see the connection between what you do today and who you want to become. DAILY PLANNER – START WITH FOCUS Tasks, habits, priorities – all in one place. Begin every morning with a clear plan instead of reaching for your phone. EVENING REVIEW – 4 MINUTES THAT MATTER What went well? What would you do differently tomorrow?  A short daily reflection stops weeks from passing without anything changing. Optional reminder at 8 PM. QUOTES – WORDS THAT ACTUALLY WORK 60 quotes from billionaires, world-class athletes, and scientific research – not empty inspiration, but insights proven to shift how you think and act. STATS – SEE WHO YOU'RE BECOMING Streaks, completion rates, goal progress, and your review history. Honest numbers that keep you moving. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account. No subscription. No servers. Everything stored locally on your device, synced via iCloud. Make that change – not someday, but today.
